Notable items:- New BG, new Arena.- New Scenarios- Heroic mode for Scenarios (rewards Valor and chance at raid finder-level loot)- Warriors get the Taunt cooldown reset from Vigilance back.- Pet battles inside dungeons and raids!- Loot specialisation: players can choose which spec to receive LFR loot for, seperate from their role selection.- Bonus rolls take account of previous failed rolls to increase loot chance.- "Unclaimed Black Market Containers are now available on the Black Market Auction House. What's inside? It's a mystery! When opened, the container has a chance to contain any item that can be available on the BMAH."

And the big ones:- All characters now have a base Resilience of 65%.

- Resilience has been removed from most PvP gear.

- Battlegrounds, Rated Battlegrounds, and Arenas now have an ilevel cap. All gear will be scaled down to ilevel 496.

This PvP change is huge. Sounds like they're totally abandoning gear progression as a means of PvP advancement!

And the anti-bad luck system kills any chance of rolling on lfr stuff (if you are doing normals) and normal if you are doing heroics

I could have cared about pvp changes a few x-pacs ago,now it's like pvp is not in the game for me (save for the Grand marshal title hovering over my head) so,so far,seems there won't be much in 5.3 to be interested in...

All the character profile site keep going down,so i could as well not place anything here

Oh damn those hot shots will now have to rely on actual skill instead of picking people out that they grossly outgear.

I can hear the cries of the xbox kids already.

The spec specific looting is beyond due.

Also love the fact we don't get new 5 mans but we get more yawn inducing boring scenarios but they're HEROIC this time.. guess that means 2 out of the 3 people will have to actually do something this time instead of being able to solo them.

i completely agree the spec specific looting and quest rewards, its about dam timei mean yeah you can swap specs before you turn in the quest but that gets old FAST

Brekkie:Tanks are like shitty DPS. And healers are like REALLY distracted DPSAmirya:Why yes, your penis is longer than his because you hit 30k dps in the first 10 seconds. But guess what? That raid boss has a dick bigger than your ego. Flex:I don't make mistakes. I execute carefully planned strategic group wipes.Levie:(in /g) It's weird, I have a collar and I dont know where I got it from, Worgen are kinky!Levie:Drunk Lev goes and does what he pleases just to annoy sober Lev.Sagara:You see, you need to *spread* the bun before you insert the hot dog.

or doing something like dpsing as blood but in frost/UH pres...so annoying

What I'm wondering right now is... ok, there's a gear cap in PvP to prevent people from using overinflated PvE gear in PvP.

But what will they do when next season starts?

Heroic ScenariosA heroic difficulty for Scenarios have been added and are designed to provide challenging content for small groups of well-seasoned adventurers. Completing a Heroic Scenario awards Valor points, and a chance to obtain Raid Finder quality items.

The main deal of scenarios is that they dont require a tank/healer, so are quicker to organize, no queue at all, compared to 5 men.

Kind of think all/most/part of these notes might be an early April Fool's Day gag. Blizz ALWAYS does something for 4/1 and these are some....weird changes. Also just having new patch notes out THIS soon after the last patch? 7 years of playing WoW I don't remember them doing that...ever.

Nah, I think it will be about more PVP-power == win. So that will be where PVP gear shines. They also say 'most', not 'all'.

I also think the gear scaling as pointed out has to do with limiting the 'wah, PVE gear is better' stuff, as well as possibly being a bit of trolling on blizz's part for those people who totally say PVP is all about skill while queuing up using workarounds to get premades in order to steamroll lesser organized teams.

Well that way they can keep PvP gear low ilvl (so people can't use it to skip ilvl requirements) and at same time prevent people from using PvE gear of 30 more ilvls to steamroll people.

The tournament realms have had normalized gear (everybody has full gladiator gear) since the beginning, this is a change I thought they would implement sooner.

Yeah, I didn't say they're abandoning PvP gear, but PvP gear progression. You'll need a set of PvP gear, but once you have that set, you probably won't need to change it for the entire expac. Rewards would have to come in different ways if you can't get gear to increase character power.
